New
York Times
bestselling author JB Salsbury makes her Forever debut with a stand-alone
unforgettable new novel, with a twist no one will see coming . . .

What do you do when you wake up
with no memory of what you did last night?

Lucas spent the first half of his
life protecting himself from others, but now his own mind is his biggest enemy.
He doesn't know what happens when the blackouts overtake him, but he can recall
the feelings—the rage, the confusion, the fear. Thankfully the quiet life he's
found in Payson, Arizona has kept the darkness at bay. Until his boss's
estranged daughter shows up in town, asking questions she shouldn't and
sparking a desire Lucas can't control. Getting close to Shyann is the best
thing that's ever happened to him, but when his blackouts return, unleashing
the truth he's battled so long to hide, he may just lose her forever . . .

My grip on her grows tighter and she steps close
enough that I can feel the heat of her breasts brush against my ribs. “Lucas,
do you trust me?”

“No.” The word comes out on a shaky whisper.

A gentle grin softens her face and with both her
hands she works to relax my hold enough for her to slip free. Seconds later she
turns, takes four long strides, and disappears off the rock cliff.

A holler that can only be described as guttural
exhilaration echoes off the canyon walls and slices through the trees.

I race to the edge and there’s nothing but a
circle of white bubbles marring the once shimmering pond.

I wait for her to surface, and just when I’m about
to jump in and rescue her, her head pops up out of the water with a feral howl.

“That was amazing!” She waves at me. “The water is
perfect!”

With adrenaline coursing through my veins, I allow
myself a moment to wonder what it would be like to be as free as Shyann.
Everything I do is weighed against the danger of doing it. The threat of
blacking out always pulling me back to walk the safer, less risky side of any
situation. But something about her makes me want to try harder, makes me want
to take a risk like other twenty-five-year-old guys. The sound of her squealing
lights a fire in my chest that has me wanting to jump.

Risking a blackout might be worth the few seconds
of euphoria I haven’t felt since…I can’t remember.

I think of backing away and yelling for her to
meet me at the truck, but something pulls me toward her. Part of me wonders if
it’s nothing more than wanting to be close, to keep her safe, because she
belongs to Mr. Jennings and I owe him. But even as the thought enters my mind,
so does another.

I want her to like me.

I want her to see me as brave.

I want to know what it’s
like to be normal.
